Test: Tenses - 1 - Class 10 MCQ

The sentence begins with cannot which introduces the present tense of the sentence. The verb  is dictating is in present continuous tense Was dictating refers to past dictation of letters Has been dictating imposes that boss has been dictating the letters for a long time. Has dictated implies that the work has been completed just now. So, the other options are wrong.

Here, 'has worked' in present perfect tense is correct because it is used to indicate an action which started in the past and has continued up until now. Here, he started working hard (in the past) and due to that, he is certain to succeed. 

The event that is being talked about, has not happened yet. It will take place in the future. When talking about future events that are certain or represent a fact, we use Simple Future Tense.

The appropriate form of a verb can be used in the sentence considering the context of the sentence.  Out of the four options, 'Will be playing' is the correct option since the sentence refers to the situation that would happen in future as the word 'Next' used clearly states the future. 'Played' and 'Had been playing' are used for the actions of the past and 'Have been playing' is used for the actions of 'Present Perfect'. Thus, the sentence would become: The players will be playing tennis next Monday.
Hence, option B 'will be playing' is correct.

The correct sentence would be " when the young boy was accused of stealing he started to cry." After accused we put the preposition 'of' followed by a verbal noun or gerund. So, instead of 'to steal' it would be 'of stealing'. 'Stealing' is a gerund here, because it is the 'ing' form of the verb 'steal' and functions as a noun.

The given context refers to a decision that has already been made at the time of speaking. This indicates an action that began in the past and has continued till the present as Jane has apparently just made the decision and has not started a job as yet. Thus, present perfect tense will be used. 

The action of knowing is actively going on in the present, but it started some time in the past. To show that an action started in the past and still continues in the present, we use the Present Perfect tense. The correct answer is 'have known'.

We know the tense of the given sentence by the phrase "it started raining" which is in simple past tense, hence the phrase that fills the blank should also be in simple past tense. Option B is hence correct, as 'got' is in the simple past tense. Option A is incorrect because 'get' is in the present tense, and the sentence is in the past tense.

The given sentence is in simple past form as can be inferred from the word 'moved'. Therefore the accompanying verb in the sentence 'sit' should also be in its simple past form which is 'sat'. Therefore options B, C and D are incorrect.
Whereas other options are not in simple past form, therefore, are incorrect. Option A is the correct answer.

The sentence clearly indicates a situation which is in the present tense. This is evident from the word 'comes' which is in the simple present tense. The sentence also talks about something that will happen shortly.
